    How am I being racist? I'm stating a fact - I can't understand what he's saying.

    No not racist. He has a hard accent to hear properly if you are not used to it.

    C'mon now people , his accent is fine and perfectly understandable , you just have to flow with the accent ,rather than hope for him to speak in another way

    I can understand him fine but then I'm Irish although I'm from Kerry and our accent is completely different to the Dubs

    thick as in brogue / (brōg)
    .
    A strong dialectal accent, especially a strong Irish or Scottish accent when speaking English.

    You can put subtitles on :confused:

    I can understand him fine it's just Danny I have trouble with. He mumbles a lot as well as being very inarticulate.

    So you couldn't understand a single word?

    He has a very strong accent, I love it :) I think because he speaks so fast is what is hard for some people who are not used to very fast speakers. If he spoke slower the accent would not be an issue. I know I have been told many times to slow down when I speak :D

    His accent isn't really thick :confused: Some of you would really struggle if you went on a trip to Dublin.
